Condensate pump

[hhsting]

I have condensate pump direct wire which is less than 1/8 HP. I looked at NEC 2014 422.31(A)says local disconnect not require but not sure if I have the correct code section. Should it have local disconnect?

No local disconnect needed IF you meet the 422.31A requirements:::

where the switch or circuit breaker is within sight from the
appliance or is lockable in accordance with 110.25.
